And there are times when I do just that and totally forget to push the shutter release because I am just so caught up in the story in front of my lens.<\/p>\n<p>[swf]http:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/swf_imgs\/_BMP6798.swf, 585, 444 [\/swf]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gulls and terns like this Royal Tern spend a lot of time working on their feathers, it&#8217;s the nature of living at the shore. This photo and pose is pretty common and easy to capture. The trick is to know that this leads to other things. The more typical is the wing stretch, a cool body posture. What they do sometimes and then for only a brief second is rub their head on their back. Often the pose looks really awkward and simply doesn&#8217;t work but don&#8217;t give up on it.<\/p>\n<p>[swf]http:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/swf_imgs\/_BMP6751.swf, 585, 444 [\/swf]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I just love Sandwich Terns, don&#8217;t know why but I just give them all my attention when they are around. How do you know they are Sandwich Terns? They have the dab of mayonnaise on the tip of their bill. This one was preening away and was really getting into it. I shot and watched, shot and watched and then the head started to turn and turn until it looks nearly upside down. I was quite happy with spending time with this tern, it produced a photo I like. And what makes both images really work is being down on their level, a perspective that works well for being intimate with the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Photos captured by D3s, 600VR w\/TC-17e on Lexar UDMA digital film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching, watching through the lens the critter as it goes about its daily life is something I could spend a life time doing and never get tired of it.
